I


I am the circle in the square
The tree in the leaf
I am the smile in the tear
And I am the useful in the heap

The heap of wastes which is thrown away
Away by those who don't care
Care to even look at me stuck
Deep within there

I am skeptical
I am jealous
I am lonely
But I am fearless
Brave enough to say

I lie

And I lie to see that others
Are not bothered to care
Care about the real person
That is I

I say I am good
Good in ways which world doesn't want me to be
Good in ways where people mock
At the very sight of me
I , as a human
Graced by the heaven
Live and let live I within me
